Balance Together Dog Training

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 Stars from Sushi & Momo Hi there, humans and fellow pups—Sushi and Momo here! We recently finished our training sessions and although we are first time reviewers we had to just had to share our thoughts on how wonderful Karina is to work with. First off, we’ve officially retired from dragging our human down the street every time a leaf blows by. (We still keep an eye on them, just in case.) Karina showed us how to walk nicely and actually enjoy the journey without turning it into a sprint. Our human seems relieved. She also taught us how to relax. Who knew chilling out on command could be so rewarding? And don’t even get us started on scent work. Turns out sniffing with purpose is an actual job! We’re basically detectives now. We even practiced “lay down,” though we were already kind of experts in that department. Karina always showed up with a big smile, fresh ideas, and the kind of patience only a true dog person has. She made every session feel like time well spent—not just for us, but for our human too. We’d absolutely recommend Karina to any dog looking to sharpen their skills, learn a few new tricks, or just have a good time while making their human proud. 🐾 Sushi & Momo 1 year later- update from the human 🙂 Sushi and Momo are doing great. I just want to mention how wonderful it is to work with Karina. A dog got loose and came after one of my dogs. The situation was bad but I am sure went better thanks to training with Karina. But what I wanted to say is all those months later when I reached out to Karina to talk over the situation with the loose dog she wa lovely, warm, available for touch up training and ideas. She is a treasure and your money and time will be wisely invested for you and your pup ❤️

My dog stayed with Karina for a 3 week board and train to improve his manners walking and excitement reactivity around other dogs. Since finishing the program I have noticed a drastic improvement in these behaviors and learned how to better communicate my expectations with him myself. Karina provided realistic goals, updates throughout his stay and thorough teachback resources for going home. She has continued to be available for follow up as well. I could not be happier with this investment we made in our dog and would highly recommend to other pet owners!

We have worked with Karina over the last 6-8 months. Initially with home visits but more recently with 8 hour sessions weekly at her home. Our 4 yo Scottie suffered from aggressive behavior towards other dogs. Karina’s work with him has been very positive. She has exposed him to many different exposures with different dogs both in her backyard and public areas. Karina is a pleasure to work with. She had a plan but was very open to adjust it to our specific needs. It is a great pleasure working with her both for ourselves and our Scottie Mac Many thanks Karina
